For those complaining about him not actually rapping this song had so many takes to create in the video because each sentence/line/bar flows into another. This song is almost impossible to do without the absolute best breath control. Shout out to crypt for covering this song perfectly. Dude has insane breath control
NF...its all heart...its all pain and emotion...its all intense and it's truth... it's real... it's not the end... but devotion. Whatever you got to say against him...haha...he doesn't care cause he's not doing it for the whiners and haters...there's a bigger picture in all this. His flow is tight...he ain't got time for all these debaters.
a lot of artists use tracks with his/her vocals still in the background when starting. I saw logic do it when he opened for kid cudi and big Sean years ago
+Euxine Box It's funny how you waste your time commenting stupidity. "he can't rap" Cool dude. Keep it to yourself instead of wasting your time commenting and hating.
+Hesps What. You must be like 10. If so, have a nice day. If not, listen ro more rappers. This rapper has hooked onto a emo whine "look at my poor life" to grab your attention and stays on it because it is what works. Similar to what is shady did but at least shady moved on. Now if he was Christian, shouldn't he be above the struggle and his burdens given ro the Lord so he shouls be making joyful raps to the Lord. No he doesn't because this is what you guys want to stay in gullibility. You say to Keep my comments to myself and that I spewing hate. That's what they told Jesus too. When all we are doing is TELLING THE TRUTH. Not to mention the fact that this section is a comments section..meaning it is for comments.
Everybody's whining about how he is lip syncing or whatever... that's not how this works. A lot of rappers INCLUDING Eminem when live have they're backing track and they only actually rap along on emphasis points to make it even more powerful.
You are clueless. Eminem has backtrack because hes over 40. Go back and watch his old live performances when he did it all himself, or watch Rap God live for CZcams, hes amazing.
clearly none of you have did a giant audience like this in an outdoor setting. The problem is when he raps without the backing track you will get off time. He plays the track like this because of the echo that he hears! The sounds out on the main up top speakers is always a little behind and even for a singer (I know from experience) It is hard to keep up with the music i cant even imagine how hard it'd be to rap over that.
People This was what? Three years ago he has gotten better listen to him now he does play the backtrack at shows but he does sing to them he is talented and an amazing rapper
NF is new give him time try to do what he does and say he is lip singing again>:( you have no idea how hard it is to get where he has at without selling your soul
Euxine Box He signed to capital christian music group. He is the first hip hop artist they signed. That's hardly selling your soul. Rappers who sell their soul also sell their creative freedom, which he hasn't.
+Zeds Dead Baby I wasn't there for this performance but it's possible he had the backing track but did certain parts over it. I dunno, but sometimes artists use the backing track when there's multiple parts in the background that they can't pull off live.
Whether there's a back track or not, NF is still very talented. He deserves more attention than what he's getting, but he fails to translate his songs into live performances without running out of breath.
+William Lopez Yep, Mount Union for the eastern one. Very cool area, this past year was my first time there though I didn't catch NF unfortunately. HUGE festival, it gives the big ones like (if you're a fan of metal like myself) Wacken a little bit of a run for their money haha
because you have the lung capacity to do that song right? having the opportunity to perform live myself, I know how hard it is to maintain proper air usage
+Chris White Actually, if I'd lay off the carbonated drinks I Do have the lung capacity. But that's not my point. I'd rather hear nothing for a second while he takes a breath than hear his track playing the whole thing. As it is, you can barely hear him over his own music.
+Michael Goltry well, you do have a huge point there. i see where you are coming from with that comment now. That annoys me too. I came here to hear YOU, not the studio version of you muffling you out. :)
+Chris White yeah I agree, I always feel a little disappointed when all you hear at a concert is the track playing. I get its hard to be live, but for real... XD didn't come here to watch you dance to the song I have in my iPod lol
he's never live, hes good and could be the next big thing, but recorded vocals are not welcome. I guess this is what seperates him from the great ones, wont mention any names...............................em
Em does stuff like this too. He has a backing track, and raps a long with it, but lets the track do certain lines that are better off without emphasis. A lot of rappers do this, including Eminem sometimes. Actually, I forgot - Eminem doesn't just have backing tracks, he also has other rappers backing him as well. -_- Y'all don't seem to understand how this works. I know it sounds like he isn't rapping at all and is just lip syncing, but if you'd actually been to a concert you would know that he raps along and is much louder than the track for most of the parts. Would you rather him rap along to the entire track and pretend it's not even there instead of being honest?
+DucksUnlimited I've seen Eminem perform and yes he does have backing tracks but not to the point of this video where I could barely tell when NF was rapping and when he wasn't. Don't get me wrong, NF's music and emotion is still top notch and will always be my favorite right next to Em. I just wish he didn't rely on the backing track so much.
Calbenmike He has to have a backing track playing because 1. He does have lungs you know. He does have to take a breath. 2. Some lines in the song overlap with each other which makes it hard and sometimes near impossible to get down without messing up.

this man shld be in sold out arenas not trash rap gayz lil wayne rick ross etc....
why? when he cant rap. or even lip sync well. you guys are worse than the secular fans. at least they have performance standards.
+Euxine Box if you don't think he can rap go to his Instagram
+Euxine Box Hey, his lyrics have more meaning than any other rapper. His songs tell a story.

I didn't know that i thought they did that to make it sound better
Hoops Historian Which is hilarious considering Em has either a backing track or a backing rapper to help him out.
Hoops Historian Then that makes almost all mainstream rappers including Em weak.
Eminem mainly uses a backtrack for choruses as he raps the rest live and he usually has a hype man who only says a few words during his performance.
You are clueless. Eminem has backtrack because hes over 40. Go back and watch his old live performances when he did it all himself, or watch Rap God live for CZcams, hes amazing.
When he raps he looks like he's going to punch someone xD
makes it that much better!!!
Little would people know is that He'd become G.O.A.T.-ed and Hip-Hop's best kept secret all at once
I was at creation that year but didn’t know about him yet. Why did I have to miss him😢

I was there
one day you will be as big as him
I love you
I was as well, near the front where they were selling food!
People This was what? Three years ago he has gotten better listen to him now he does play the backtrack at shows but he does sing to them he is talented and an amazing rapper
Nf is very passionate about his music, I dont think he's lip syncing
Naomi Mosher I would assume that you believe in God like him as well, and because of that you'll believe anything you want without validity.
NF is new give him time try to do what he does and say he is lip singing again>:( you have no idea how hard it is to get where he has at without selling your soul
Your right :D
*syncing
who says he hasn't? compromising to be about self and emulating a secular artist. come on people.
Euxine Box he Is actually a strong Christian if u listen to some more of his songs alot of thim talk about god
Euxine Box He signed to capital christian music group. He is the first hip hop artist they signed. That's hardly selling your soul. Rappers who sell their soul also sell their creative freedom, which he hasn't.
He’s better live now in 2017-2018 no playback and why does it looks like it’s fast forward?
You heard this guy rap? If he rap's like 3 whole songs he'd pass out. He's doing like 2hr concerts and im sure they have inproved
Ah... it's all a backing track...
+Zeds Dead Baby I wasn't there for this performance but it's possible he had the backing track but did certain parts over it. I dunno, but sometimes artists use the backing track when there's multiple parts in the background that they can't pull off live.
+jacobjedi2 Dude...he pulls the mic away multiple times and the lyrics are still going! Come on now...
Whether there's a back track or not, NF is still very talented. He deserves more attention than what he's getting, but he fails to translate his songs into live performances without running out of breath.
+rbeforme its only for back up. I've been to a concert of his. he has to breath lol its only certain parts that does that
+Magna It's the whole song...it doesn't sound like a live performance whatsoever.
Why didn't you sing it?!!!!!
Nice video anyway
is this festival in pa
+William Lopez Yep, Mount Union for the eastern one. Very cool area, this past year was my first time there though I didn't catch NF unfortunately. HUGE festival, it gives the big ones like (if you're a fan of metal like myself) Wacken a little bit of a run for their money haha
Ha! I knew it wasnt just me that didn't have the lung capacity to rap fast and long ass parts at the same time.
go be a studio rapper and you'll be fine..i guess.
Euxine Box ok
Love NF, but these live performances that I've seen on here don't give the best impression.
because you have the lung capacity to do that song right? having the opportunity to perform live myself, I know how hard it is to maintain proper air usage
+Chris White Actually, if I'd lay off the carbonated drinks I Do have the lung capacity. But that's not my point. I'd rather hear nothing for a second while he takes a breath than hear his track playing the whole thing. As it is, you can barely hear him over his own music.

+Elizabeth Ashley I'm he was rapping over it. it's extremely hard to do it with out that. he has the track playing just so he could take a breath
The service sucks on ur camra might as well get a new one sadly 😔
If he can't rap this live why the fuck would he even preform it? I'll challenge nf to his own song live.
Dude you can't breathe
check all his live raps. he is all studio. but you guys put him there and this just shows where yall's priorities are.
+Euxine Box He actually slowed down with the studio background music. Alot of his current concerts dont even have any
I know but it does look like he's lip syncing
he's never live, hes good and could be the next big thing, but recorded vocals are not welcome. I guess this is what seperates him from the great ones, wont mention any names...............................em

Love NF but this is a complete lip sync.
What a wack ass performance LOL pure comedy.
lip sync insane
You can tell he was lip synching....oh well
+McBananaGaming yEAH AT 2:27 i CAN DEFINITELY TELL. that other guy saying ur deaf is fucking stupid.
+Danny A yup you could hear it. I fucking love this guy with all my heart but its true. still the legend of rap :D
what you mean oh well? DUDE CAN'T RAP. At least lil wayne can rap and the other guy that this guy tries to emulate. people gosh.
+Euxine Box Are you kidding me? NF has more meaning into the lyrics than any mainstream rapper like Lil Wanye/Future/etc.
Hesps Not sure that's accurate bud.
Lip syncing? Lame!
Calbenmike He has to have a backing track playing because
1. He does have lungs you know. He does have to take a breath.
2. Some lines in the song overlap with each other which makes it hard and sometimes near impossible to get down without messing up.
lip-sync. lame. love NF. Sad
